Outdoor and Adventure Skills Gathering – Bushcraft Sessions

For the Outdoor and Adventure Skills Gathering, we’re taking a fresh approach to our Bushcraft sessions.

This year, our sessions will be built around specific, hands-on activities designed to:

Improve skills
Spark ideas
Inspire more adventurous activities with your young people

🔥 Bowdrills and Carving

For those with experience using tools who wish to add a bit of finesse to their skills! This course will focus on a full days bowdrill making, from harvesting the materials to creating an ember. Day two will focus on carving, with potential opportunities for a spoon or spatula to take away with you.

🪓 Breakout Sessions

We’re setting aside time for optional, smaller group sessions including (but not limited to):

Tool sharpening
Rope making
Carving
Pyrolysis

Have a specific skill or topic you’d like to cover? Let us know in advance, and we’ll do our best to fit it in.

We’ll also be having a Nature & Wellbeing Walk on the Sunday morning to revive our spirits & look at Sourcing Materials.

Let us help you build confidence, learn new skills, and bring more adventure to your Scouting programme.
We can’t wait to see you there!
